An amusing Onion headline, until you do a google search and find that Alabama school officials are getting complaints re: Black History Month.

"Teachers may ... introduce Malcolm X but not read his speeches, mention soul singer Marvin Gaye but not discuss his 'What's Going On' lyrics, or point out...Tulsa, Oklahoma, on maps but not talk about the racial atrocities that occurred there."

[Stephanie Lamore @Steph_AAUP]

these are not "critical race theory" bills, they are censorship bills. They are educational gag orders. And they have no place in our K12 schools or institutions of higher learning.

[Stephanie Lamore @Steph_AAUP]

Wisconsin is on the cusp of enacting an educational gag order against K12 teachers and schools.

"microaggressions," "patriarchy," "racial justice," "restorative justice," "social justice," "structural racism," "systemic racism," "white fragility," and "white privilege."

You can also donate a copy of #1619Project to states such as Georgia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin that are enacting bans. https://t.co/YJsKnOznwT

With bills being enacted across the country to make it hard to teach about Black history, racism and the fight for equality, #BHM2022 feels particularly important. A reminder for teachers/libraries, we have a free site to help you teach the truth. https://t.co/M1wb4FPP9k

It’s quite interesting that DeSantis’s recently appointed head of Florida’s Department of Juvenile Justice understood the value of #criticalracetheory when he wrote his dissertation at the @USouthFlorida, isn’t it?

The AAUP condemns in the strongest possible terms the decision by @UF to deny permission to three faculty members to provide expert testimony in a major voting rights case challenging Florida Senate Bill 90.

Do you ever notice how few teachers are ever interviewed in these so-called CRT stories? Simply allowing Republican operatives posing as “concerned parents” to fear-monger about what they don’t want or what they say is happening, isn’t actually good reporting.
